“The Train Don’t Stop Here Anymore”
(Benny Mardones, James K. Ervin)

I used to be the man
Lots of friends and lots of fans
And the pictures on the wall say we used to have it all
Until your heart made other plans

Now my life has come and gone
I did a few too many things wrong
And it’s too late for regrets
How I hope the one you met will never sing my song

The train don’t stop here anymore
It just passes in the night
And the street that led me to your door
It’s always dark without a single light

If I could just go back in time to when you were mine
And maybe live my life again
I’d open up the door, I’d love you like before
But the train don’t stop here anymore

Late at night I stumble in
Sit and think what might have been
Because when you’re living life too fast
True love can never last, temptation always wins

Like a ghost town in the west
Memories are all that’s left
I made all my dreams come true
How’d I end up losing you, when I had the very best

The train don’t stop here anymore
It just passes in the night
And the street that led me to your door
It’s always dark without a single light

If I could just go back in time to when you were mine
And maybe live my life again
I’d open up the door, I’d love you like before
But the train don’t stop here anymore
